Due to the Covid-19 pandemic’s resurgence, the third edition of the Paris Peace Forum will be held in digital format. A unique platform, specifically designed to replicate the physical experience and enable a full event to be held in times of pandemic, will allow more than 10,000 participants to take part in the 2020 edition of the
Forum.

The only remaining physical session will see several heads of state and international organization gather around President Emmanuel Macron to work on a collective response to Covid-19. This key meeting will also be broadcast on the Forum’s platform:

“While the initial plan was designed to strictly comply with health regulations and restrictions, we have chosen a zero risk approach to avoid any potential contamination. As a result, no guests, speakers, journalists or members of the public will be present at la Grande Halle de La Villette.

This year’s Forum is devoted to the response to the crisis and the principles that should govern the post-Covid international order. It also focuses on projects and initiatives from around the world aimed at providing immediate responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, improving our medium-term resilience, and rebuilding a more sustainable world.

In a context that calls for more international coordination than ever before, it is necessary to maintain this year’s sole opportunity for high-level meetings and exchanges between actors in global governance on the most critical issues of the moment.”

Justin Vaïsse, General Director of the Paris Peace Forum
